It seems that our silk worms are littleas a bit bigger than regular silk worms,

I think I remember the company saying they bred the silkworms with the larger commercial worm. So that(as a known) isn't at issue. But you are right, there is a possibility, but Kim did say <1% and that is definitely ballpark of current costs. I think MS should be priced higher than current silk, but if it is better than (and we want to replace) current silk then it might be priced similarly.

"(I don't know why we keep talking about a metric ton? Could a ton be 1000 pound?)."

because kim's estimate referenced kilos...and there are 1000 kilos in a metric ton...
